Author of the Month: Joyce Carol Oates
Oates’s prolific output often mixes gothic estrangement with high social observation. Her novels include Blonde (nominated for the 2000 National Book Award), We Were the Mulvaneys (a 2001 Oprah Book Club pick), and the New York Times bestsellers The Falls (2004) and The Gravedigger’s Daughter (2007). She has recently started writing books for young people. For all her success, Oates’s daily routine of teaching and writing has changed very little. A quotation from Henry James is affi xed to the bulletin board over her desk, and perhaps best expresses her own view of her life and writing: “We work in the dark—we do what we can—we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.”
